The staff was very friendly, the room was nice with a nice view. The food looks nice, but for taste it lacked. The starter I had was mussels and white wine/garlic/onion sauce, the sauce was too thin and not creamy. The pork ribs I had was the 600g ribs, for me it was a poor cut of the rib with way too much fat on the top side. The sweet sauce on it was the only flavour it had. The meat itself was bland. The breakfast in the morning was 100% enjoyable.
Stayed for a few nights at Saldanha bay Hotel. The most beautiful view of the bay, rooms are super clean, staff attentive and friendly. Highly recommend this venue for your next stay on the West Coast.
The staff was super friendly and professional, always ready to assist. The accommodation was great, facilities amazing, including the training venue we utilized.The food and beverages were top class. The entertainment was spectacular, Don Vino Prins was awesome. It was a great weekend.
Amazing, amazing place! So tranquil and the food is amazing! Also a great place to bring your kids. The most friendly staff and beautiful views
Wow.. We were pleasantly surprised and totally satisfied with our entire experience. We stayed there for only one night on Thursday 27 May 2021. We arrived there quite late in the evening and the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. The room that we stayed in had great space and must have been recently renovated. Nice big shower and bathroom.Breakfast in the morning was also excellent. Congratulations to Saldanhabay Hotel.

Our stay was Fantastic along with Exceptional Service and Professional Staff whom display Kindness, Friendliness, and Approachable (Caring ,Genuine Concern and Going Beyond the Call of Duty was noticed when my wife was not feeling well).Food was Excellent added with the Great Service. Our rooms were Neat and Fresh and Activities to Enjoy. My Wife, Daughter and Myself Enjoyed Ourselves Tremendously. Looking forward to Our Next Visit.Value for Money.Thank You and God Bless.
Quaint hotel located on Africa’s deepest natural Port with amazing sea views. The hotel is fully covid compliant and offers great amenities from mini golf, chess, swimming pool and pool. Service was of a high standard and the location is central to all that Saldanha Bay has to offer. Great for a family vacation or for a business trip. Highly recommended for a stay on the West Coast 😎
It has excellent service and the the view is beautiful. Nice and quiet for people who want to get away.
Staff is very nice with customers.very good to go there and experience it self.
What a wonderful stay at Saldanha bay hotel great staff especially one of the waiters a auntie called Johanna many thanks for her superb service.
We had a lovely and relaxing lunch there, beautiful view too. Not crowded at all..
We feel like VIP guest! Mrs Lawson the duty manager, and All the waiters are excellent, had a incident with a meal, but was corrected... Rashida our attendee, was out of this world friendly. We do feel like the family effect is totally present at the Saldanha Hotel. We strongly recommend you tip well, as these family members(SH - staff) absolutely goes the Extra mile! Front desk included!!!!
My family and I had an amazing time. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Lots of activities to keep the kids busy. Food was excellent.
The calmness of the sea around and the wonderful staff of the Hotel gives u a sense of belonging. Exceptional service.
I enjoyed ma stay,will visit again..Carring and friendly stuff..
I absolutely love this hotel. Kind staff and a breathtaking landscape. When you arrive the face of the hotel, keeps this gem a surprise.A must visit.
No staff around, all tables are still dirty from breakfast, you have to flag waiters down if you can even find one.
We enjoyed our one night stay. Food are excellent. Hotel super neat. Staff are most friendly.
The place is very romantic, relaxing outside few meters away from the sea, its Avery cosy environment
Me, my husband and our baby had a good time this weekend. Beautiful views,I had the best prawns! Amazing stuff, I remember Rashida, so pleasant and friendly, i remember Simone at the reception, I remember Hillary the porter, very friendly lovely stuff! Keep it up
Great hosts and nice people
Best mussels and fish & chips ever tasted.
The hotel is showing its age...Major let down on checkin as it is not part of the Protea Hotel group anymore...Saving grace for the hotel in my personal opinion is the staff and the amazing breakfast service...Bathrooms need a refurbishment as well as the carpets in the room...And the fridge does not really keep your items cold, more chilled to the touch.
The place was just perfect and quiet, exactly what we needed.
Friendly staff and clean spacious rooms.... the view is beautiful
We had a wonderful stay. Delicious food, spotless room with crisp white linen.
The best in town
The service is really poor! Won’t be doing this again!
Beautiful view , stunning hotel with amazing service.was a great stay and restaurant food was also great
Very good service
Great place lots of pool tables very well managed, great bar pub food is very well priced friendly staff, love going there
The best service everyday, warm kind welcome for everyone
Great fish restaurant. Plenty of verieties on the menu. Magnificent sea view. Both my wife and myself enjoy our staying and looking forwards to come back soon
Rooms are great, but had an awful experience at the restaurant. The staff seemed nothing short of incompetent at their jobs, going through 4 different waiters and waitresses for ice and drinks menu, then once my wine arrived waited 10mins for wine glasses.. 😞
Excellent customer service and awesome breakfast staff super friendly 👍
We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. Great and friendly staff. Comfortable room with an amasing view. Very clean. Excellent food. Will definately visit again!
They always make us feel welcome. Theres one lady who never disappoints us, she been consistently exceptional-Simone. God bless her heart and soul❤💚🙌🙌. Thanks Angel.
Very pleasant stay. Staff and waiters went the xtra mile to make one feel welcome and at home
This is a place for the higher-class citizens. The menu and time arrangements are in support hereof.
The hotel was perfect for kids. There was a jumping castle on the weekend. Theres a games room as well.
The rooms are clean and breakfast was great.
Friendly staff. Good rates. Perfect for a family
Awesome 👌 The Staff were amazing, accommodation 5 Star 🌟 Thanks 😊
Most amazing bulcany view and very profesional staff. I was staying there but it was the only.place to get good coffee or breakfast early in the morning. Did I say the view was amazing.
The moment we arrived we were greeted by friendly and professional staff offering to carry our bags to the room. We checked in which was quick and easy and went to the room which was beautifully clean and fresh. Everywhere we went in the hotel we found the staff to be helpful, kind and accommodating and they all looked like they love their jobs. The food was amazing and the hotel has so many activities to keep little ones busy. I will definitely be returning for a 3rd time and will be bringing my niece and nephew with.
Breath taking views. Rooms were neat and clean and spacious. Well serviced. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Had a beautiful sleep. Peaceful environment. The breakfast was out of this world. Definitely recommend this place. There was a free snake show and gin tasting. Loved it. Very expensive though.
Brilliant service following the Covid Lockdown reopening. Everyone helpful and very friendly. The hotel is very well equipped with a good restaurant and rooms with great views and easy access to the water. We experienced some challenges with restaurant food orders but the hotel staff went out of their way to make up for it the following day. Their response to the challenges helped keep the 5 star rating. Were definitely coming back!
Nice and cool place
Clean, good food, friendly staff, beautiful views
I am sitting in the restaurant of the well known Marriott Hotel in Saldanha Bay. I have been sitting here for more than 2 hours and they just told me the executive chef is playing my food. Oh sorry I made a mistake probably because I am so hungry I cant even think straight.Lets start again I have been sitting here for 2 hours and 40 minutes they said the executive chef is playing my food 40 minutes ago ok rather leave it its no use this is probably normal for this type of place.
Beautiful view. Too expensive, they must at least include bed, dinner and breakfast. The last thing one needs when visiting is to drive around looking for a restaurant .
9 ⭐ if I could give more stars I would.Protea Hotel in Saldanha is right on the water. Beautiful well tended grounds and a spectacular sunset view across the bay.I visit every 3 months or about until lockdown, and twice since.Parking: they have off road parking but space is limited when busy.Okay downside... The building is older and is in definite need of remodeling. The windows are peeling, warped and difficult to close. Some facets are too close to the edge of the sink which ends up making a mess. Even with this, Ive only had amazing stays at Protea if you can look past some of the appearance challenges. It would be nice if they cleaned the carpets more frequently.Food: Breakfast is excellent be sure to add breakfast to your booking. We had room service it was okay no complaints, we usually go to Captains Cabin just down the street for dinner. We love to order the chips they are so crispy and good.Linen is clean and house keeping is very good. Security is also very good. Front desk is helpful and polite, though they cant confirm room requests until the day of.WiFi is spotty at different areas of the building especially at the ends. TV has basic channels.We go to Pnp in Vredenburg for grocery items they do have a small bar fridge. No microwave available that we know of.Family Considerations: Careful when booking rooms with children, there several rooms under the dining room area so it gets very loud and difficult for daytime naps. The dining room has chairs for little ones. There is a play area and outdoor pool. Some days they have a bouncy house inflated. They have Legos for kids to play with. The waters edge is not fenced and must observe young children carefully.
Loved the view.
The staff were fabulous and our suite was outstanding. The breakfast buffet was lovely also.
Love t
Lovely...beautiful view,good hospitality
Very clean and neat hotel. Staff are welcoming and friendly. Chef went extra mile with our requests.Lovely view of the ocean. Lounge has excellent views over the ocean. Nice to just sit, chill and chat with your family.
Great catering and amazing view
Great service and well priced. Now that they are open after the Covid lockdown the staff were happy to see new faces.
Great hotel, location is excellent right on the waters edge, and great as a base to see the area. Customer service cant fault at all. Food was the best we had during our 5 week stay, and the staff were excellent. Have no hesitation in booking this hotel again.
Service, food and view and birthday room surprise for my wife Yolanda.Awesome and Amazing protea team...
We travelled after COVID and found the staff very well trained. Dinner was good with cozy fire and decent wine selection.
This is my hotel of choice when we travel down the West Coast. Our best stay ever over this past weekend. The staff outdid themselves, THANK YOU SO MUCH. And your CHEF!! wow. Personal service at its best and all our requests we met. Dont be shy to ask....you might be pleasantly surprised. The food quality has improved so much. Thanks for listening. We will definitely be back. With much appreciation.Johan & Judy Bucchianeri and Mark & Colleen Scott
Great place
Beautiful view !!
Very stylish and rooms are big. Bathrooms are a bit small and the shower is inside the tub, but staff were extremely friendly and the bar had great food. My husband had the calamari and wings and I had the prego steak roll. Would definitely visit again.
The most amazing, friendly service!
What a awesome /amazing time we had at Protea Hotel Saldanha. The staff from management,front desk, chefs and dining area not to forget house keeping have award winning, welcoming people skills. That was one of the most impressive skills that stood out for us. The hotel has a clean fresh upmarket look that makes you comfortable and relaxed in its surroundings. We are looking forward to return to such great hospitality. Gillian and Ian Smith.
